What is underwater rugby?

Where was underwater rugby invented?
The sport was invented in Germany in the 1960s. It developed as a team game played in a swimming pool rather than on a conventional field.
Why is the ball used in underwater rugby negatively buoyant?
The ball sinks instead of floating, so players must pass and carry it in three dimensions. That makes positioning above, below, and around opponents part of the game.
How do teams score in underwater rugby?
A team scores by placing the ball into the opponent’s underwater goal basket. The baskets sit beneath the water, so attacks can come from several directions rather than only from the front.
